Mo Willems gets a great deal of my love and money because he is funny, smart and not ashamed to be silly with his books. Case in point, the next instalment of the whimsical Elephant and Piggie series.

In this instalment, Piggie finds that Gerald has broken his trunk and asks what happened. What unfolds is a long, and convoluted story involving two hippos, a rhino, a piano and a crazy stunt. It also has some of Willems trademark wacky misdirection and slapstick humour. Kids of all ages will love this book. Its simple text make it a great early reader or read aloud book.
